A question for the postfix gurus about moving the queue to another
server ...
I'm working on a system with n postfix mailservers behind load
balancers. I want to take one of the the servers (say MTA2) off the load
balancers for testing a new configuration (there's no test environment -
duh!).
I then want to move the existing queue onto another mailserver (MTA1),
so that real emails don't get lost. What's the easiest way of doing this?
I was thinking of changing the transport table on MTA2 to point
everything at MTA1 and force flushing the queue - sound sane?
% cat '* smtp:[mta1.example.com]' > /etc/postfix/transport
# rebuild map
% postmap dbm:/etc/postfix/transport
% postfix reload
# flush queue
% postqueue -f
# watch contents of queue until empty
% postqueue -p
# start playing
% la-la-la...
